Property investment stats for Ramsgate, South East

• The average gross rental yield of 6.0% is attractive for investors seeking income, and the top-performing district delivers 5.9%.
• Ramsgate’s private rental sector is in the 82nd percentile nationally, reflecting strong demand from tenants.
• The current median achieved price is £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) below asking, so buyers may be able to negotiate favourable terms.

• Capital growth over the past year has changed by -6.9%, and the three-year annualised figure is just 0.6%, so short-term appreciation prospects look muted.
• Owner-occupation is low for Britain, in the 30th percentile, which could mean less community stability and more transient tenancies.
• The degree-educated and professional population are both in the bottom quartile nationally, which may affect future demand and economic resilience.

Expectations for the next twelve months are mixed. On one hand, the strong rental yields of 6.0% and relatively affordable median prices per square foot at £284 per sq ft should continue to attract yield-focused investors. The area’s sales volume of 517 and average time on market of 74 days suggest that liquidity will remain steady, with buyers still able to negotiate on price.

However, with capital growth over the past year at -6.9% and only modest three-year gains of 1.8%, investors should not expect rapid appreciation. Ramsgate’s high proportion of private renters and lower owner-occupation means the rental market is likely to stay active, but long-term capital returns may lag compared to more affluent or rapidly growing areas. Overall, Ramsgate looks like a solid bet for income, but less so for those chasing quick capital gains.
